Coherent population transfer via the continuum.
We present a remarkable analytic result which suggests that a continuum can be used as an intermediary for a significant transfer of population from one discrete state to another discrete state in a stimulated Raman transition. the population transfer is accomplished by employing two laser pulses that overlap in time, arranged in the so-called counterintuitive order. That a continuum can be use...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of selective coherent population transfer via a continuum.
We report the first experimental demonstration of coherent population transfer, induced by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, via continuum states. Population is transferred from the metastable state 2s(1)S(0) to the excited state 4s(1)S(0) in helium atoms in a two-photon process mediated by coherent interaction with the ionization continuum. While incoherent techniques usually do not permit a...
متن کاملBright solitary waves of trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
Motivated by recent experimental observations, we study theoretically multiple bright solitary waves of trapped BoseEinstein condensates. Through variational and numerical analyses, we determine the threshold for collapse of these states. Under π-phase differences between adjacent waves, we show that the experimental states lie consistently at the threshold for collapse, where the corresponding...
متن کاملShallow Water Waves and Solitary Waves
Glossary Deep water A surface wave is said to be in deep water if its wavelength is much shorter than the local water depth. Internal wave A internal wave travels within the interior of a fluid. The maximum velocity and maximum amplitude occur within the fluid or at an internal boundary (interface). Internal waves depend on the density-stratification of the fluid. Shallow water A surface wave i...
متن کاملGeneralized solitary waves and fronts
Generalized solitary waves arise in many physical systems, including water waves with surface tension and multi-layered fluids [7,19,21,22]. They are nonlinear long waves consisting of a localized central core and periodic non-decaying oscillations extending to infinity. They arise whenever there is a resonance between a linear long wave speed of one wave mode in the system and a wave speed wit...
